Emulation Module

The emulation module is an inte- grated plug-in for the HP 16600A and 16700A Series logic analysis systems.

The emulation module helps you debug your code by providing run control, code download, and memory/register display and modi- Figure 1: HP 16600A Logic Analysis System with Integrated fication. You can control program Emulation Module execution through single stepping, start/stop, run/break, and set/modify breakpoints, or run code at full speed in the target.

The emulation module can be controlled by the emulation control interface provided with the logic analyzer. The emulation con- trol interface is described on page 4.

The HP emulation module is controlled over your local area network (LAN) and connects to your target through the 30-pin Pentium II processor debug port connector.

Unlike traditional emulators, the modules provide more stable operation by accessing only the debug pins of the microprocessor and they do not affect other signals. With these solutions, you don't need a serial port on your target system to download code. These solutions don't require user memory, unlike ROM monitors. 4

Emulation Control Interface

The emulation module integrated into the logic analysis system can be controlled directly by the emu- lation control interface. With the emulation control interface, you can easily display and modify con- tents of microprocessor registers, system memory, and I/O. You can also view memory code segments disassembled into familiar Intel Pentium II processor MMX Technology assembly instructions.

From the run control window you can instruct the microprocessor to run, break, reset, or single-step. You can also choose whether the memory, I/O, and register displays are updated for breaks and single steps.

Writing command files that set up registers, memory, and I/O in your system is easy with the command language. Once the command file is written, save it on the logic Figure 2: Emulation Control Interface analyzer hard disk. When you want to initialize your hardware system to a particular state, simply recall and execute the command file.

Inverse Assembler The inverse assembler quickly configures the logic analyzer by labeling address, data, and status signals for the Pentium II processor. Additionally, the inverse assembler gives you Pentium II processor mnemonics in the trace listing for easy correlation between captured data and target code. The inverse assembler provides filters and color coding to show and/or suppress different types of instructions such as data reads, data writes, and I/O reads and writes. The inverse assembler has several modes of operation, depending on your processor configuration. The inverse assembler provides Pentium II processor mnemonics when the cache is disabled and branch trace messages (BTM) are enabled. Figure 5: Inverse Assembly Listing System Correlation With the HP logic analysis systems, you can time-correlate bus information from other microprocessors or bus interfaces in your target, such as PCI, with the Pentium II processor. Analysis probes are available for other microprocessors in your system.
